GeekGirlCon at the 2014 Pride ParadeWelcome to my Gauntlet 2015 fundraising campaign!I’m excited to help raise money for Hopelink, a local charity supporting low-income families and the homeless on their way to self-sufficiency. ENGAGE - Card Kingdom and Mox Boarding House’s charitable giving program, is hosting a table top gaming tournament and fundraiser called The Gauntlet: Moxtropolis on May 16th! Help me support this amazing charity, and earn valuable "Power-Ups" during the tournament, by donating to my campaign. Just click the "Make a Donation" button to the right to get started!

Team GeekGirlCon: This is my second year competing on Team GeekGirlCon in the Gauntlet. Last year we were the definite underdogs, starting out with the least number of "powerups" but quickly climbed toward the top! We came in fourth place after a crushing blow from Suckerpunch during Suspend. Now, we're back for our revenge and to help a good cause while we're at it. This year we have 3 returning members to Team GeekGirlCon as well as a shiny new face to help out. Come on out and help cheer on Rose, Kristine, Sylvia and Jex as we work towards the coveted trophy!
